HPLC Separation of Morpholino Sulfates


MOPS and MES are buffers used in biology and biochemistry. They consist of a morpholine ring and propanesulfonic acid. Both molecules are zwitter-ionic and very polar. No retention can be achieved on reversed-phase columns. MOPS and MES are analyzed in HILIC mode on a Primesep N HPLC column. Other biological buffers can be analyzed with this general method. Biological buffers are not UV active and can be monitored by ELSD, CAD or LC/MS.

Application Column

Primesep N

The Primesep family of mixed-mode columns offers a wide variety of stationary phases, boasting unprecedented selectivity in the separation of a broad array of chemical compounds across multiple applications. Corresponding Primesep guard columns, available with all stationary phases, do not require holders. SIELC provides a method development service available to all customers.
